Tools Required
-
J 35555 Mity Vac
-
J 43485 Power Steering Bleeder Adapter
Important: Use clean, new power steering fluid type only.
Notice:
-
If the power steering system has been serviced, an accurate fluid level reading cannot be obtained unless air is bled from the steering system. The
air in the fluid may cause pump cavitation noise and may cause pump damage over a period of time.
-
When adding fluid or making a complete fluid change, always use the proper power steering fluid. Failure to use the proper fluid will cause hose
and seal damage and fluid leaks.
Important: Hoses touching the frame, body, or engine may cause system noise.
-
Verify that the hoses do not touch any other part of the vehicle.
Important: Loose connections may not leak, but could allow air into the steering system.
-
Verify that all hose connections are tight.
Important: Maintain the fluid level throughout the bleed procedure.
1. Remove the pump reservoir cap.
2. Fill the pump reservoir with fluid to the "FULL COLD" level.
